 The time is here when peace and goodwill should reign, our blessings be enjoyed with gratitude and our sor- rows, if We have aay. passed lightly by; and if, perhaps, some have missed d face once here, or been disappointed because some expected guest could net ioin in the milth, we can but remem- ber--
 There's none so unhappy but what he
 hath been
 Just about to be happy, at some time,
 Ween.
 And none so beguiled and defraudeti
 by chance,
 But what. once in life, some minute
 circumstance
 Would have fully suflieed to secure him
 the bliss
 Which, missing it then, he forever
 must miss.

SPEAKING Of the recent meeting e the Evangelical Alliance. at Washing. ton, the Cleveland Pla.ndealer unloads itself with the following pertinent re- marks: The conference undoubtedly was the outcome of conviction that has forced itself upon the more thoughtful minds of the Evangelical church that somehow or for some cause the church is losing it's hold up- on the mass of the people. Unques- tionably the power of the church has weakened. As an element ill society it does not have the authority and inf fluence that it once had. As an eccle- siastic system it has perhaps lost nothing. The outward form is still there, but the moral and social influ- enee has weakened. The church dees not reach the mass of the people to in- fluenee and uplift as it once did, and as it ought to do now. This is the conviction of the most elear-sighted, the most earnest and the most thought ful men in all the branches of the Evangelical church. The meeting of the Evangelical Alliance was the out come of this conviction. It was a con fession that the failure of the church to grapple successfully with existing social problems and to make it's power and authority manifest ill existing social conditions is d fact that the church cannot afford to ignore, aud against which it must needs make provision"

TIE waltz is ever new, and yet 1t was born a century ago, the one hun dredth anniversary of its birth 1alling on the 20th of December, 1887. On that day, one hundred years ago, It was presented in an opera at Vienna composed by Spaniard named Vim cent Martin. It was welcomed as na- tions welcome newborn prince, and the captivated Viennese danced it at all the balls immediately. From Aus tria's capital the waltz soon travelled all over the world.

Death of Rev. pr Winfield.

Rev. Dr. k. A. Winfield died at his residence in this city at 6:30 last eve ming. Tue announcement vii be read with feelings Of sincere sorrow, not only by the people of Arkansas, where he has lived and labored for nearly forty wears, but throughout tue neighb0ring States where he was widely known and greatly esteemed. Nc minister of the gospel i'll Arkansas was so widely known, and no one Will be held ill more loving remembrance. For he was great man in his church, d strong man ill every relation of life a good man. Now, that he is gone forever, we all recogoSnlze his worth, not only to the cause or Christianity, but to every movement that has for it's object the good of humanity and the betterment of the world. As a preacher he was earnest and eloquent, his burn ing words and impassiOned appeals bearing his hearers along with him with resistless sympathy. His chosen work was phenomenal. He was always at worK.
 He was not without his faults, bat who of us are? But of him it may be said as it was said If another, his failings leaned to Yitue's side. He was strong, brave, aggressive man, who dared to execute the commission of his Master as he understood 1t, and he had no compromise to make With those who were enemies of the great cause. But withal he had a heart con hding and generous. loving as a child's, and no man who has felt all the fullness of his true friendship can ever forget 1t.
 To the Methodist Episcopal church, South, his death is great calamity. He served her long and well as d dutiful son serves loving mother unmindful of himself, his supreme concern her welfare and glory. But far beyond the pale of his church his good works extended. The cause of temperance, of education n-eYery good good cause-has lost in him friend and helper. For more than forty years he has gone in and out working in- cessantly, bearing hardships and pri- vations, his highest object being to make men better here and to prepare them for the hereafter.

TAT nrotection does not nr.

THAT protection does not protect MT. Blaine to the contrary, notwith- standing-is plainly shown in the sta tistics of the woolen manufacturing business in this country. The high tariff has brought ruin and disaster te many woolen mills and left thousands of operatives out of work, The tariff on raw wool operates most un- fortunately for manufacturers and wage -earners. The English manafac- turers understand that high tariff here is boom for them, The Sheffield Independent, an influential journal in one of the English manufacturing dis tricts says "These high tariffs pre- vent the American manufacturer from producing so eheaply as English manu- lecturers can produce, and, conse ouently. American manufacturers can not compete quality for quality with English manufacturers in neutral mar kets. .'-Albany Journal.

"Weu. how is Christmas?' "Oh, dull.n If this has been remarked once in my hearing it must have been SO as many times as the square root of q fortnight. I ct, comparing this with ether santa Claus times, l cannot see any very great parties every night. interspersed with most every variety of goodies to be pro cured in this market. The nest en- ioyable event of this yule.tide was the delightful soiree at the residence Oi MT. and Mrs. Jesse Briley's. Miss Sallie, their accomplished daughter won an enviable reputation as being peculiarly gifted with those rare social qualities which befits one to make every guest who comes within the hale of her smiles of welcome feel lasting gratitude for her impartial winsome- ness toward all.

ACCORDING to the sworn statement of a Wichita, Kas., druggist, there were 8 400, 900 bottles of beer sold in that town in three months or two thirds of a quart of beer per day for each inhabitant. Of course each per son had to swear that he or she drank it for medical purposes-which you will observe is quite an easy thing to do. Now, when St. John hears of this state of affairs he will straightway get on the stump and swear that the whole statement is allie. He will affirm, with great gusto, that not a single bottle of beer was sold in that town from the date of prohibition. We have heard him do just such swearing. However this world is so given to lying and swearing that it seems to be considered a necessary adjunct to getting along

As THE pension craze has already broken out in congress it might be we'll for our national legislators to bear in mind that the treasury paid out S75,000, 900 during the last fiscal year on pension account, and that there was reduction of nearly thirty five per cent. as compared with the last year of republican administra- tion in the cost of disbursing that amount. And yet in 1884 the amount paid out in pensions was Sl6,SSs 600 less than that of the last fiscal year.
